[Browniepants]

Hi just wondering if anybody could help me in my research as i seem to have come to a dead end !! I am searching for a Annie Nicol born in Edinburgh about 1875 she married James Ernest crick in england (Oldham) in 1896, i have there marriage certificate which tells me her father was Peter Nicol (deceased).I don't no when they came to england from Scotland, don't know when her father died, don't know her mothers name. She was my greatgrandmother so any help would be really great.I have her on the 1901 census living with her husband in oldham but thats it.!

                              Many Thanks for Reading this Yvonne

I've been having a look too. I've found two Ann Nicol and variations in Edinburgh but neither with a father Peter 

1874 and 1877. Did she have another first name?

I'm just wondering if the 21 means 'over 21' - sometimes 'of full age is written' on early certs but this is a bit late.

Have you found her on early censuses?

I'll have a look later - or someone else might - I'm out this morning.

Hi Yvonne

I've been looking for all sorts of combinations on the 1881 and 1891 censuses - in England and Scotland - and can't come up with your Annie at all at the moment 

The 1901 gives her age as 26 which is consistent with her age at marriage. She was older than her husband so I'm wondering if she was a wee bit older than she admitted to but there's no way of telling.

The only possible so far in the birth registrations is a Mary Ann Nicol, born 28 April 1875, Bainfield or Barnfield Terrace, Edinburgh - St George District. She was illegitimate. Her mother was a Maggie Nicol, a comb factory worker. Not really sure about this at all.

People didn't have to produce evidence of their age or parentage on marriage and many people used fictitious names for their fathers to disguise illegitimacy - my own grandfather included!

Did Annie have any children? If so, what were there names?

I'll keep looking but this is definitely a bit more difficlt than normal.

Regards

Hi again, I see what your saying about age difference but it was only a year on the marriage cert he was 20 she was 21 so it could have been she had her birthday that year and he had not if you get my drift.

Hi Yvonne

I noticed on the 1901 that James Ernest had birthplace Not Known and aged 24. I've just found a possible birth registration for him. Not sure whether you've seen it:

James Ernest Crick, Hunslet, West Riding Yorkshire,  June Quarter, 1877, Vol 9b, page 344

It's the only James Ernest around that time.

It's not your Annie but it's a start
